Understanding Paint Colors Art: Understanding the evolution of art will make it easier to match paintings with the theme of your home. Whether you want to buy abstract art or a minimalistic painting (it could be surrealism, futurism or even photorealism) you should first understand 'what is art?' For a better insight to understanding art, you must know how to buy art. Secondly, it is not important to stick to the usual styles of paintings. Today we see several styles of art which were unheard of on online stores like ShowFlipper.; for instance digital art paintings and Ferro printing. Try incorporating such new introductions to give a unique appeal.

What do the experts say? Let's have a look as to what experts say and get some tips. According to Julia Toffolo, one of the curators of the world's most prestigious art collections, there are five important things that every homeowner should follow while hanging paintings in their homes: 

You should not hang paintings or any work of art too high on the walls. This is a common mistake that most homeowners make. If there is no furniture below, a painting should typically be at a height of 155 and 160cm.

When you are hanging a piece of art, you must consider the proportion and balance. If there is too much space between the mantelpiece and the painting, try placing some elements in between for example a clock or a sculpture.

If you are planning to create a pattern with paintings, make sure you are giving a trial on the floor first before putting those up finally on the wall.

Make sure that there are two points from where paintings are hung. Especially when you are hanging a large painting, have two points


from where it is hung. Doing this will be safe and secure and also prevent paintings from losing alignment over time. 

When it comes to hanging pictures aesthetically, you need to make sure that the levels are all straight and parallel - the way you want those to be. Trust your eyes while hanging paintings, because ceilings and walls may not always provide the best perspective of a straight line.

According to David Kassel of ILevel, a professional art placement and installation service, people should be using the special painting hanging hooks rather than heavy industrial nails or screws. Moreover, installation of two D-rings is considered more appropriate rather than a wire to hang the paintings. If you do this, there will be no "pendulum effect".
